Thursday, December 10, 2009, 5:30pm Everson Museum

Please join us for our holiday event which will begin at the Everson touring the Turner to Cezanne Exhibit followed by dinner at the Mission Restaurant!

Guests are encouraged to attend as well. Make your reservations today...

Turner to Cézanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection, National Museum Wales is drawn from an ex­traordinary group of 260 nineteenth- and early twentieth-century paintings assembled largely between 1908 and 1923 by sisters Margaret and Gwendoline Davies. The exhibition speaks volumes about taste, patronage, and philanthropy. The fifty-three works included here also present a survey of modern art, from Turner’s Romantic naturalism to Cézanne’s modern aesthetic innovations. The exhibition is also a reminder of the value of creativity, and of persistence, as many of the artists were, at first, either misunderstood or scorned. Painters once rejected, like the Impressionists, are now in the pantheon of the world’s most popular artists.

Margaret and Gwendoline Davies inherited their father’s fortune, drawn from the coal and transportation industries, in the early 1900s. Having been raised in environment steeped in arts and culture, the sisters cultivated an interest in art from an early age. While their initial purchases were rather conservative, favoring established artists such as Joseph Mallord William Turner, Barbizon painter Camille Corot, and Academic master Ernest Meissonier, they quickly fell under the spell of art of the vanguard.  They purchased works by Jean-François Millet that illustrate the elevation of scenes of modern life to a prominence formally reserved for subjects like portraiture, history, and religious painting. They had a particular fondness for Honoré Daumier’s acutely observed depictions of Parisian life. Their collection, as illustrated in this exhibition, sets the context for the arrival of the Impressionists on the scene in the 1870s.

Impressionism forms the core of Turner to Cézanne. As seen in Monet’s Waterlilies, the Davies sisters favored his later works, in which color, light, and textured brushstrokes combine to form a poetic abstraction that marks the apex of Impressionism. Their interest in Monet was unique among British collectors and placed them in the ranks of other visionary collectors in the United States and Europe. Cézanne’s landscapes present another interpretation of the Impressionist landscape, one based on geometry and structure rather than poetry. Finally, Manet’s view of the Seine in Argenteuil illustrates the Impressionists’ direct response to their surroundings, with belching smoke as important a part of the landscape as the boats.

Alongside these landscapes, the exhibition includes works that reflect Impressionism’s emphasis on contemporary life, from the hustle and bustle Pissarro captured in Paris on a wintry day to Renoir’s dazzling life-size canvas, La Parisienne. The exhibition culminates with several Post-Impressionist works, including paint­ings by Pierre Bonnard and Vincent van Gogh, and modern British masters, such as Augustus John and Walter Sickert, they inspired.

Turner to Cézanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection, National Museum Wales is organized by American Federation of Arts and National Museum Wales. The exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

Wednesday,  September 16, 2009    TOUR: Dairylea

Join us for a tour of Dairylea's Virtualized Environment

Dairylea Cooperative Inc. is a farmer-owned agricultural marketing and service organization with more than 2,300 member farm families located throughout the Northeast. As the largest milk-marketing organization based in the region, Dairylea sells more than 5.5 billion pounds of raw milk annually through a milk-marketing network that reaches from Maine to Ohio to Maryland.

Dairylea first started virtualizing around 2006. They began by exploring VMware with a few licenses of ESX Server to experiment with, then decided to virtualize a few web servers and a domain controller. Then in 2007 they began having such serious problems with Citrix that they decided to create a few virtual desktops. The virtual desktops worked so well that they ended up moving everyone from Citrix to virtual Windows XP desktops.

Today via their virtual email servers they support about 900 people. Through VPN's set-up with most of their remote locations this allows them to connect back to their virtual machines. Additionally, any user in their environment can access their virtual machine from a web browser through a Juniper Instant Virtual Extranet. 

Jeremy Wheeler, Manager of Infrastructure, will guide us through their facility and demonstrate the monitoring capabilities of the virtualized products. 

Looking forward to seeing you at  Dairylea!
